The fact the PM needs to even know about such a thing, never mind sign off on it shows what a dysfunctional state government is in.

She is 'ideologically opposed' to any conventional, let alone progressive, form of responsible leadership.
She is only ideologically aligned with insane concepts based on greed.
She is an idiot. |  |

It is quite incredible how in the past decade we have been able to replace a completely and utterly hopeless Prime Minister with one that is even worse.
Despite being a Tory, Cameron wasn't too bad - but the gamble to offer the Brexit vote will forever tarnish him. After that, is been one disasterous PM followed by an even bigger one. |  |

The country is crying out for some proper leadership from our PM, we had little from Bojo or on those rare occasions when he did, it was far too late and now Truss seems to be following suit. Is it any wonder this country is in a mess? [Post edited 7 Oct 2022 8:50]

To be honest do adults in this country need that advice, surely people have enough commonsense to understand how to reduce energy especially with global warming/climate change and cost of living crisis?
But hey a nanny state is a nanny state I guess |  | | |

You've met the general public I assume?
Common sense isn't as widespread as you'd hope. |  |

It's not so much the general theme of using less energy but how to and which devices are most energy-intensive.
For example, LED lights don't cost much to run so telling people they don't need to sit in the dark might help. I'm fairly clued up in this are and I didn't realise how efficient modern dishwashers are. Even making more people aware of times of peak demand should help, in aggregate, to shift some of that demand. | |

Early years Truss was a republican Remainer Lib Dem and I think she is sticking to her Lib Dem principles
Which means to actually have very flexible principles. In my time campaigning on Green issues, I found that the greenest of green were LDs... there was literally nothing they wouldn't say to appear to be the most concerned about any particular issue
However, their actions invariably belied their words
Like a shape-shifting chameleon, she has simply says anything and everything to blend in with her background; in this case the barking mad state shrinkers of the swivel-eyed right of the Tory party |  | | |

One slight caveat to that which should at least be noted is that she seems to have moved on from the performative rows with the EU that Johnson used. | |

No-one wants to hear advice nowadays - especially from experts.
Saying that, the advice from PM's isn't that clever either.
We shouldn't leave all the big decisions to the PM 'cos they know best because.....
Cameron - lets have a referendum
May - get rid of 20,000 police and create a hostile environment
Johnson - lets spend 45bn on dud gear from con-men.
Truss - Starve the poor to feed the rich |  |

....of those situations where if they do give advice everyone will rip the pi55 out of them for telling us to turn the heating down or only boil enough water for what you need.
"They've wasted £15m on telling us to turn our lights off! They could have bought 1.5m packets of Lambert & Butler with that money"
Or they'll say that kids should share a bath and all they'll get is "is this what we're reduced to" type stuff.
I don't see how they can win in this very specific situation personally. |  |

Cameron was fooking awful. A smiling sociopath who pushed through massive, ideologically driven austerity, privatisation, benefit cuts, tax breaks for the top set and culture wars.
He just looks 'good' compared to what followed and was just about clever enough to either use Lib Dems as human shields or do a 'compassionate' looking interview every so often.
In reality, he was Paul Hurst - corner cutting at every opportunity and trashing the country though his own hubris. [Post edited 7 Oct 2022 14:40]

Ah yes, the party of self reliance who've seen the last decade finding someone, anyone to blame for their failures.
Also: informed choice isn't 'nannying', it's ensuring people have the correct tools to make decisions. [Post edited 7 Oct 2022 9:53]

Well, they do what is right for the country surely. Reducing peak demand this Winter is something that will benefit everyone. | |

It's the cycle that we are in unfortunately.
Everyone should have a smart meter installed.
I got mine down to a usage of 35w the other morning, I think the only thing using electricity was the meter itself.
I was delighted, so delighted that I celebrated by boiling a massive kettle and leaving the iron on. | |

I’ve never thought of that, but you’re right, she is the Marcus Evans of politics.
Probably thought that promotion/ becoming a popular PM would be easy, employed the wrong people in the wrong areas, an ineffective budget and trying to micro-manage pathetic things whilst neglecting proper infrastructure. Oh and destroying the younger generation. |  | | |

it's still the right thing to do. Reducing demand also massively reduces the enormous cost of the cap this Winter.
Agree on the smart metres, the visualisation helps guide usage. | |

I can't quite get my head around that. She's ideologically opposed to reducing consumption to save people money and to help safeguard supplies (which is the main driver here) during an impending energy crisis which is leading us to prepare for blackouts?
Is she married to an oil/gas tycoon? |  |

Nah, the British electorate are Marcus Evans for allowing these scumbags so much time.
Cameron was Hurst - destroyed the country through his hubris, Johnson was Lambert - patently unfit for the job but good enough with a soundbite and his own PR that he conned enough people for long enough to do some lasting damage. [Post edited 7 Oct 2022 12:51]

That's part of the problem. It's become too much about "winning" (and things such as "annoying the right people"), rather than acting rationally* in the best interests of the country.
Also, if they gave a better overall impression of competence, opennness and stability, then there would be a lot less p1sstaking.
* If your actions are rational, then there is not so much need to fear or avoid explanation and analysis. | |
